Katie Volynets vs Erika Andreeva Expert Tip

I was a tad concerned with the level of tennis Volynets had displayed over the last few weeks, but those concerns have been alleviated with two strong matches this week.

With a similarly rock-solid game from the baseline to match the elder of the Andreeva sisters, but also actually being able to play some front foot tennis, I’ll happily back the young American in this one, as the more well-rounded player.

Katie Volynets Recent Form

The summer got off to a rocky start for Volynets, who had a poor loss to McCartney Kessler and then lost from a set up and didn’t win a game in the third in Stanford against Yafan Wang.

That sent up a bit of a red flag, but wins over a talented young prospect in Barbora Palicova and another against the rock-solid teenage Celine Naef – both in straight sets – have me believing in the American again.

She’s a natural hard courter and has added a bit of aggression this season to go with her consistent, relatively error-free game.

To me, that’s where she’s got the upper hand on her opponent.

The Russian is one of those players opponents hate to see on the other side of the net.

Nothing comes free and winning points can take six, seven or eight shots to earn.

On the flip side, the danger of having a powerful groundstroke coming towards you is greatly reduced.

With that more defensive mindset, Andreeva has begun finding more and more success on clay courts in 2023.

Her recent wins on hard courts have me a bit sceptical that she can maintain this level. Sara Errani is an ageing clay courter who has no weapons to her game, and Petra Marcinko is super talented, but couldn’t keep the ball in the court after going up 4-1 in the opening set

Katie Volynets vs Erika Andreeva H2H – Stat of the Match

With both of these players being relatively young they’ve yet to play each other at the professional level for the first time.

The dearth of hard-court data for Andreeva at tour level in and of itself is a reason to like Volynets, but the data we do have doesn’t paint a pretty picture.

Her hold plus break percentage is languishing at just 92%. That is not a good enough level to beat Volynets.

Odds as at 4:00 am UK Time on August 25th, 2023. Odds may now differ.
